General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Wow, what a fascinating composer! This is a good, well-sourced article that meets all the criteria. All hooks are sourced: I would say ALT0 and ALT1 are the most interesting. An extra comment - there are quite a few one-sentence paragraphs, which isn't a problem for DYK, but you might want to see if they can be combined/expanded. But good to go. Thanks!  Mystery Merrivale  (talk) 18:41, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article seems in a good enough state all around. The hook checks out and is certainly good enough; I might mentioned that he was reelected to the house afterwards though! Left some comments on the talk on how this article might be improved or expanded. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 15:54, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1: ... that after being expelled from the Arkansas House of Representatives for killing another representative in a knife fight on 5 December 1838, John Wilson was re-admitted in 1840? (And it is 5 December per the cited source.)--Launchballer 14:16, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: Waiting on QPQ. The hook makes sense to me. Article was created on 9 May and is long enough. No copyright or sourcing issues. Hook is reasonably interesting and sourced. Riley1012 (talk) 12:46, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wow, I love this hook. Article is long enough and 5x expanded as of today, Earwig finds no copyvio, sourcing looks good and I'm AGFing on the languages I can't read (DeepL translation shows me it lines up). Hook is cited, again AGF because I can't be certain, given that I can't read Russian, and your QPQ is good. Zanahary (talk) 21:47, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AirshipJungleman29: This saint's day is June 28. Would you mind dropping this in the SOHA for that day? --evrik (talk) 18:54, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Evrik and Zanahary: please could you double check the source for the hook? I found it online via Academia.edu here. My reading is that Ankudinov thinks that there was only oral tradition before the 18th-century vita. After discussing two 17th century documents, the sentence on pages 86 and 87 says "Возможно, это свидетельствует о том, что к этому времени текст Жития Ксенофонта еще не сложился, и среди населения бытовали лишь устные предания о преподобном. [Perhaps this indicates that by this time the text of the Life of Xenophon had not yet been formed, and only oral traditions about the saint existed among the population. via Google translate]". TSventon (talk) 16:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is accurate, I am not sure it is surprising. I think the article needs some work, hopefully Чръный человек can help. TSventon (talk) 16:19, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Looks good to me, long enough, new enough, good sourcing and well written. I think ALT1 is more interesting as a hook. Luiysia (talk) 17:13, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pseud 14 (talk) 15:20, 15 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]

@Pseud 14 and Piotrus: I'm afraid I'm not sold on either of the new hooks. My suggestion is ALT3: ... that for her residency Ang Ating Musika, Regine Velasquez performed "two concerts-in-one"? [7] - but I'd need to see an end-of-sentence citation for it.--Launchballer 15:28, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: Citation added, but I would suggest changing "tour" to concert series or residency, as this was not a concert tour. Pseud 14 (talk) 16:07, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fair cop, my apologies. I would note that I can't approve my own hook. (For concision, 'residency' is probably better.)--Launchballer 16:12, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article is long enough, new enough, and reliable sourced with no copyright violations. The article is neutral, and the hook is directly cited. Approved. SL93 (talk) 20:43, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: An interesting story. Nice work. Preference for ALT0 or ALT2 (also, can't find that she was the last one in the Historical Quarterly source, is that in the National Biography one?). QPQ currently pending. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:17, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: QPQ done. Yes, that is mentioned in the ANB entry. You could access via WPLibrary. Re preference of hooks, I'd prefer ALT0 as well. ALT2 is intriguing but with hindsight IDK it may portray a derogatory initial picture towards her tragic story until read fully. X (talk) 02:56, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT0 it is then. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:46, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
